Shift Technology and Duck Creek Partner to Implement AI Fraud Detection Within Duck Creek Claims

Shift Technology, a provider of AI-driven decision automation and optimization solutions for the global insurance industry, and Duck Creek Technologies, a leading global technology solutions provider to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, today announced the two companies have entered a solution partnership to bring AI-enabled fraud detection capabilities to market in 2022. Once fully integrated, insurers taking advantage of Duck Creek Claims will have real-time fraud alerts delivered directly to the claims management software environment.

Delivering an exceptional claims experience is at the forefront of carriers’ strategic initiatives. The ability to settle policyholders’ claims as quickly, fairly, and accurately as possible is a key element in exceeding customer expectations. Insurance fraud, and the requirement to ensure that only legitimate claims are being paid, can often inject unnecessary friction, slowing down the process. Giving insurance professionals real-time access to insights about the claims they are handling, and whether those claims should be processed immediately or referred for further investigation can help mitigate this friction. The partnership between Duck Creek and Shift is designed to deliver this important capability.
